Searching For Bigfoot, Memorial Mound, and New House: My Paranormal Life

I finally got some time in the woods today at a spot I’ve been going to for quite a while now. I mostly go for some time to relax, and Bigfoot research. It’s an area beside the theme park “Alabama Splash Adventure” formerly known as “Vision Land”. I had heard of sightings in the area first on the internet, and then someone who worked at the park told me that there have been other sightings there too. They even told me about how the owner of the park had game cameras out on the perimeter of the outskirts of the establishment. This made me want to further investigate what could be going on for myself.  

Another thing I have heard of this land is that businesses do not last, and have terrible luck there due to a native curse that was placed on the land. There are several abandoned buildings around the area, and it really does seem as if there is something dark and depressed about the land. Even the theme park there has gone through several name changes, and has now been converted into only a water park now leaving half of the park unused. Here is a video of on of an abandoned grocery store in the area:

The woods around the park span out for several miles, but it’s really not a spot you would think Bigfoot would show up. Yet when you walk into the woods you start to see some interesting things. Today I saw that the loggers have been tearing it up, and that makes me think the Bigfoot that were there probably have moved on. I did find a possible footprint and some other interesting things. One thing I found very intriguing is that around certain tree structures the loggers had left pink markers, as if they knew they were tearing down the Bigfoot markers and structures. Some people believe the logging industry is behind the coverup of Bigfoot due to the fact that if it was found to be alive, it would shut down the logging industry since Bigoot would be considered an endangered species. 

I also recorded the story of a Bigfoot experience a friend of mine had in Talladega National Forest. I look forward to future investigations in the Talladega national forest area. It's an area I have been before and even had my own encounters at. One time I had set my tent up near Pine Glen campground to get some rest before filming deeper in the woods the next day. It was a cold winter night, and I was bundled up in my sleeping bag sleeping like a baby. Around 4:00 AM I awakened to hearing tree branches being snapped, as if by something that had hands. I caught all of this on film, but the moment I turned my camera off and put it down, a whole tree was knocked over. I cursed myself for turning off the camera, but I was happy I caught the sounds of the branches being snapped. My friend Ken thinks that whatever was snapping the branches may have been trying to intimidate me out of its territory, but once it sensed I was not scared it left me alone for the rest of the night. 

Another thing I got to do recently was finally explore the Memorial Mound mausoleum. It's a place that I've always had a fascination, and was built by someone my dad did business with back in the day. The story of Memorial Mound goes that in 1969 a man named Clyde Booth, a former grave digger and construction engineer, began studying burial mounds and the catacombs of Rome which inspired him to create an underground burial mausoleum. At the age of 67 he decided to make his dream a reality in the south east. In 1990 Clyde purchased a lot in Bessemer, Alabama and completed the undeground mausoleum in 1992.

The foundation of the facility sits 8 feet underground with a large chapel as the interior room. It has two wings with metal racks for caskets and cremated remains. In 1996 Memorial Mound shut its doors, and by 2009 it had fallen into a state of neglect. Vandals had torn it apart, and by 2015 the authorities had to recover the remains of 7 adults and 1 infant from the abandoned mausoleum. There is actually footage of skeletal remains found there on YouTube. Here is my recent video from going inside: 

The place has quite the aura to it, as Sir Klopp put it in the comments of the YouTube video above. All I can say is that it really does, and even just standing at the entrance to the door will make you feel some sort of way. The chapel in the front looks like something out of a horror movie, and when you walk around the corner and see the coffins your heart just drops a little. It's a beautiful site despite all of the terrible vandalism that occurs there. I wouldn't doubt it if there have been rituals done inside the mausoleum as well. I hope that the people who were at rest in there are now at peace wherever they may be. 

For all who know about our terrible luck with our current housing situation...we may have solved our problems! We did all of the paperwork to buy our first house today, and the one we chose is a historic Victorian style home built in 1902. We really lucked out on finding it, and it's honestly perfect for what I do. Just from walking through the house I could feel that it might have a haunting of its own. I am excited to learn more about the history of the house, and to have my permanent office set up for live streams and video editing. Things are about to get LIT. Here is a picture of part of my new office!

So huge thanks to all the Wolfpack Squad for holding it down, spreading good vibes, and being understanding during this time. We are finally getting our living situation solidified, so that we can put our roots down and get back to work on content for you! The quality of my content is about to increase ten-fold, and I think y'all will enjoy everything I've got coming up in the future. Thanks again Wolfpack, I will see you guys soon! Don't forget that the podcasts will still continue every Wednesday night at 7:00 PM central time:  SPECTRAL WOLFPACK SHOW

The Pope Lick Monster Trestle, New House Vibes, Ghost Stories - My Paranormal Life

On my way back from the EPIC WOLFPACK meet and greet (last blog) I got to stop by somewhere that I’ve wanted to see for several years. The Pope Lick Creek Train Trestle. The trestle sits over 700 feet long, and is at least 90 feet tall. A few people have died on the bridge-trestle, and some would say it was the doing of the Pope Lick Monster: a part goat, part sheep, part man who is said to lure people on the trestle to meet their fate. There was a movie based off the monster called, "The Legend of The Pope Lick Monster" released in 1988. Just a year earlier two kids had died from injuries received from the dangerous trestle. The trestle itself was built in 1929, and some say the legend dates back several generations.

According to some the creature uses either hypnosis or voice mimicry to lure trespassers onto the trestle to meet their fate before an oncoming train. Other stories boast that the beast jumps down from the trestle onto cars passing beneath it. There are even legends of the monster attacking its victims with a blood stained ax, and that the very sight of the dreadful creature is so unsettling, that all who see it while walking across the trestle are driven to leap to their death. Some believe the monster to be a circus freak, who swore revenge after being mistreated by it's superiors. Others say it is a monster that escaped from a train wreck after a train derailed on the pope lick creek trestle. Some even say that the beast is a malformed reincarnation of a farmer who sacrificed goats in order to gain some sort of satanic powers. 

I managed to hike my way up to the trestle, and although I desperately wanted to cross, (it’s on my adrenaline junky bucket list) I felt it wasn’t the right time to do so. I didn’t put my boots on going up there, and my flip flops broke on the steep grade going up to the trestle, which is littered with old barbed wire and rocks. Once you get up there you can really see why it’s so dangerous. On either side of the bridge are sharp curves in the tracks, making it seemingly impossible to know if a train is coming from either direction. And once you are out onto the bridge there is no where to go but down. I had to trust my intuition on this one, and not cross the infamous death trestle this time. If you would like to learn more about this legend here is my video I made about the Pope Lick Monster:

After we got back home we instantly started moving to our new place. It was kinda odd, but I got this feeling like something didn’t want me to leave the apartment. Like something didn’t want me to be happy. It was just a random feeling I got, but I'm learning to trust that little voice in your head called intuition. At one point I even started feeling physically sick, and had to sit down. Luckily I am completely out by now, and feel like a different person then when I was living there.   

Once we got my office set up in the new house we put all of my dolls in the room with me. I’ve noticed some nights I will feel someone right behind me, and I’ll Stop for a moment and look around the room at all the dolls. Some of her definitely have some strange energy about them, and you can feel it. I’m planning on doing more videos on my dolls such as where they came from, stories behind some of them, and more focused sessions with them. Several of them are believed to be haunted, and I have definitely seen my fair share of anomalies fly off my doll shelf with my own eyes. One night, at my old apartment, I literally saw something about the size of a hawk fly off my shelf. It was a brown blur of movement that just jumped right off the shelf, and went into the other room.  

I’m excited about our new place because it’s in an area that i'd like to do more exploring in. I can feel that there are new abandoned and haunted places all around! There's several grown over roads I've spotted, and y'all know I have to walk down them and see what I find. I’m also investigating the Old Pauly Jail again Tuesday, and I may have a couple leads on some locations that have never been investigated as far as I know. One is an old radio station that my friends mom told me about, another is a haunted library, and then there’s also the Sipsey Wilderness which has a number of haunts and cryptid sightings. 

The other night Brittany’s friend came over to see our new place, and we were all outside telling ghost stories. She told us a story about a time after her Grandmother passed. She was at her apartment and had been thinking about her Grandmother. Then she spoke aloud to someone else in the house, and brought up something about her Grandmother. At that very moment the light in the room Across from her went out. She said she went in the room and unscrewed the bulb and put it back in, and it came right back on. 

After she told the story it reminded me of something that Happened to me several weeks ago. I was at work and we had a new person we were training. My manager asked her if she believed in ghosts, and she said she didn’t. She sounded like she thought we were asking her a trick question, and that she was just saying no because she thought we would call her crazy otherwise. At that point he told her what I do, and then she lightened up a little. I started telling her about the story of the dentist who committed suicide next door to where we work. At that very moment one of the lights started flickering for several minutes. This was the first time any of us noticed it doing this, so it was pretty spooky! 

All the talk about lights made me remember my street light interference video... check it out here if you haven't seen it yet:

The Meet and Greet, Ruffner Mountain, Alabama White Thang - My Paranormal Life

So first off the Alabama white Thang documentary is finally out! It’s a project I had been working on for a while, and I think it’s one of the best videos I’ve ever made. Expect more on this in the future, as it’s an ongoing investigation. I actually have been receiving even more people interested in being interviewed since releasing the documentary. If you’d like to check it out, here it is:

Another thing that I’ve been doing recently is going out to Ruffner Mountain preserve:

Located in eastern Jefferson County, Alabama, Ruffner Mountain preserves is settled right between the border of Birmingham, and Irondale. Ruffner is one of the nations largest urban nature preserves, at more than 1000 acres. 

When you enter these woods, you get to take a glimpse into Birmingham's mining history. It is named after William Henry Ruffner, a geologist from Virginia who in 1882 mapped the geologic features of the mountain, including iron ore and other valuable resources. The Ruffner mines were operated by Sloss Furnace, later renamed Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. The mines provided iron ore for the nearby Sloss Furnaces, which today is a National Historic Landmark. 

Many deaths have occurred in mines all over the state, and I'm still doing research to find out exactly how many people died on this mountain. While out there I could have sworn something was watching us. Next time you are out in the woods just think about it, it will surely freak you out. Something could be watching you, and you may not even know it. We did find some interesting footprints, and had some good spirit box sessions as well. Here is the video I made from the trip:

And the live stream, sorry the audio isn’t great my phone is still messed up:

The EPIC WOLFPACK Meet and Greet April 28, 2018: The meet and greet at the Benton Farm House was absolutely incredible! It got a little intense at some moments, but overall it was a great event. To be honest, I don’t normally enjoy group investigations, but this one was something else! Eric and I like to keep things lit and high energy during investigations, and I think that it translated well into this group event. We also had some Epic Wolfpack members come as well! Thanks so much to everyone who came out! 

So we started out by going out to the cornfield to do some EVPs and gateway sessions. For anyone who doesn’t know, the gateway is a device which reverses all frequencies on a spirit box and also echos back any loud response several times. So any forward response that comes through we believe is a spirit response or message. Anyway when we got to the field we began doing EVP sessions. Brittany was acting funny and sitting off on her own and not looking at anyone. We started off  the sessions amazingly with several clear EVPs, one in specific said “Seven coming”. As some of you know, Seven is an entity that seems to be following me and Eric. If you don’t know about Seven yet watch these videos:

So during these sessions Tim LITFIELD was picking up on all kinds of things from the field. He said he sensed soldiers, he smelled gunpowder which started making him cough, and he mentioned something about seven before we even got the EVP about seven coming. On the ride back I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Brittany. She was being very quiet, but when I started asking her what was wrong she kept saying I’m bothered, don’t bother me. This is something. Have never heard her say the whole time we have been together. I quickly figured out something was messing with her. 

She got into the car and wouldn’t tell me anything, but then I got inside the car. Once I was in I kept asking if something was messing with her. Finally she forced herself to say yes. At that point I got Kim Fowler to pray for her, and Rebecca Richardson got her sage going. A few moments later Brittany snapped out of it and was back to her regular self. She told us that she saw native Americans out on the outskirts of the field, but these were natives that practiced dark traditions. One of them was a skin walker, and was a younger boy who kept switching from a black dog to a boy again. She said whatever was messing with her was making her hate all of us, and she didn’t want to speak to anyone. It was a hell of a way to kick off the night. 

Once the investigation started things continued to intensify. Brittany walked off to the attic while my group was on the second floor. I didn't realize it at first, but Tim walked off on his own, and separated from the group. Someone told me about it, and I walked around the corner to find him. He was sitting in a chair staring off into the darkness. I said his name several times, but he didn't notice that I was even there. Then I turned my headlight on and he snapped out of it. He didn't remember how he got there, or what had happened. Then I tried to closely monitor everyone in the group to make sure everyone was ok. 

At this point Brittany and Rebecca had joined us again, and Brittany seemed to be feeling the effects of something messing with her again. We got the sage again, and started cleansing her. Since she was still in the house I think it was making it harder for her to be fully left alone by whatever this thing was. The way she described it was as something mimicking a child, but when it would get close to you it had greenish black sharp teeth jutting out of it's mouth. She said it was using the various cribs and children's toys in the house to manifest as a kid. It had on clothes from another time long ago. Maybe early 1900s. She said this was a different entity than the Natives she saw in the field.

So we got Brittany to chill outside so hopefully nothing would mess with her anymore, but it immediately seemed to jump fully onto Tim.  Tim began coughing again, and then began to pass out. I ran and got holy water out of my car, and as soon as Eric put it on Tim's forehead he began growling. Everyone started praying and telling whatever it was to get out, and Tim started laughing a very guttural laugh. Some were convinced he was having health issues, others were convinced it was something spiritual. I still am not sure what was going on completely. We got him outside, and he came to almost instantly, but didn't remember any of what just happened. He said to me that the last thing he remembered was me shining the light on him in the chair upstairs earlier in the night.

For the rest of the night after Tim left with Sandy Wolf we continued to investigate. I saw several anomalies with my own eyes throughout the night, and we had some very interesting spirit box sessions and EVP sessions. Here is the link to the live stream from that night:

Here is Dumpster Dad's Behind the Scenes video:

Anyways this week we are moving into our new place, but once its all said and done I'll be cranking out videos, live streams, and all kinds of other content! My new office is so much better than what I was working with, so I'm extremely inspired to get back to work! More to come here as well... stay on the lookout! 

My trip to Cryptocon: A Bigfoot/paranormal/cryptozoology convention in Harlan, Kentucky

4/20/2018(The day before the convention)

So something strange happened to me today. I had been looking for this specific book that I’ve owned for years. I had been looking for the said book for OVER a year with no luck in finding it. Even a week ago I was digging through boxes at my Dad's house trying to find this book. Today I was loading up my car with our merch for the Harlan, Kentucky Cryptozoology convention, and guess what was sitting right there in the back seat? The book I’ve been trying to find for OVER A YEAR. Now here’s what’s very interesting about this book. Not only had I been looking for it for so long with no luck, but it’s also a book about demons and fallen angels. It's called "A Field Guide To Demons, Faeries, Fallen Angels, and Other Subversive Spirits". Now if you follow my YouTube channel you probably know that I have been studying demons a lot more lately, and it was just very strange to me that that specific book was sitting there. I’m still not sure how to explain it. 

I should also say that this day in general wasn’t a very good day. Lots of negativity and aggression in the air, but a friend of mine called me and helped me clear some of that away before I went to bed. During the conversation at a key moment of healing the call dropped completely for no apparent reason. I also saw several black orbs in my room fly by very swiftly, and it was feeling as if something didn’t want me to talk to my friend. 

Another interesting thing about the black orbs is that there has been a newer entity we have been seeing around the house. A smaller black oblong shaped shadow about the size of our cat. About a week or two ago I had opened the door to go in my room because we keep it closed so the cat won’t get inside. Right upon entering the room I noticed the cat was indeed in the room somehow. The cat then started running and out of the floor I saw the black oblong shadow fly up toward the bed and disappear. Even before that Brittany had described seeing it in succession with a loud sound we both heard. She said she felt it was a child, or something posing as one. 

So let’s take it back even before that... one night when it was just me at the apartment I was laying in bed. I started hearing my cats freaking out and hissing from the room we keep them in at night, and then all of a sudden a loud bang on the door and it just swung open. Now maybe the cats jumped up and somehow opened it, but it was still very strange! The cats were also at the other end of the room when the door opened. Cats are very swift, so it’s not impossible that it could have been caused by them. Also there was one night we had the cats put up in that same room. Brittany was asleep on the couch and all of a sudden the cats were jumping on her. She walked over to the room we keep them in and the door was cracked open. 

4/21/2018 - CRYPTOCON!

Year one of Cryptocon was a blast! I love any convention that revolves around Bigfoot, and they had some great speakers for it being a first year event. I only got to see bits and pieces since I was working the booth, but I’m happy I got to see my new friend Matthew Delph's speech. I also met some new friends in the community, and got to sell some merch and spread the word about Spectral Wolfpack. Jimmy Blanton did an amazing job putting together the convention for year one, and I look forward to going next year! I may even speak there, which is another thing I’m trying to do more of in the future. 

It's always great fun to hang with some good people, and talk about Bigfoot! I got to hear some awesome stories of sightings, and even a little bit about UFOs. Overall I recommend Cryptocon, and I hope to see everyone there next year! 


Another cool thing that happened was that while in Harlan, Brittany went shopping for an anniversary present for me. She ended up finding some cool thrift stores. She got me some awesome stuff, including several creepy dolls. Here is one picture of my favorite doll that she got me:

On the way home we stopped in the Smoky Mountains, and got to see some Wildlife. We saw a coyote, several turkey, a bear with 3 cubs, and some deer. Brittany got me a book about Cemeteries of the Smoky's, and some Hobbit Tarot cards. We had a really great anniversary, and an awesome trip overall. We tried to cram as much as we could into the two days, and I think we succeeded! There were some things I wish I got pictures of, like a camper that was named Bigfoot at Cade's Cove in the Smoky Mountains, but I learned that if I see it I should grab a picture. So next time I will!   

Here is our live-stream from the convention:

My paranormal life, #1 Entry, Dream Journal Entries #1

Hello guys, and welcome to my first entry on this blog. This will be a place where I can just write some thoughts down, talk about things that might not make it into my videos, and I'm also going to be writing some of my dreams on here. Basically it's just a journal for me to write about my adventure as an enthusiast and investigator of the unknown. 👻👽👹

For anyone who doesn't know me very well, my name is Alex Bobulinski. I am a paranormal investigator from Birmingham, Alabama with a slight obsession with spirits, cryptids, extraterrestrials, urban exploring, historic locations, and "creepy" dolls. I have investigated at some amazing locations including: Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Old South Pittsburg Hospital, Hales Bar Dam, and many more. This is what I love, this is my passion, and the experiences I've had so far have been life changing.

Here are a couple dreams from my journal that have a sort of paranormal influence on them:
4-17-18
"Last night in one of my dreams I realized one of my spirit boxes turned itself on, and actually started scanning on its own(for this to happen in real life, something/someone would of had to press it). Immediately a response came through the box twice. "Seven," both times, which if you follow my videos you know that this is an entity I have been dealing with and studying recently."

"Several nights before I had a dream about Memorial Mound, which is an abandoned underground funeral home in Bessemer, Alabama. In the dream I finally got inside the usually-chained building, and I was exploring the innards of the cave-crypt. It was very dark. Somehow not even my lights would work in the darkness, and I was just walking along with very low visibility. Then I started hearing children's laughter coming from somewhere. I started making my way back to the front door(which is the only way in or out, I should add) to see if there were kids outside the building. As I approached the front door, it slammed shut and I was trapped inside. Then I woke up."

While on the subject of dreams, here is a video interview of my friend telling me about his nightmare/sleep paralysis experiences:
